Lovely picture and poem, Melissa! I especially liked the second line of "skip with lichen covered steps" as "skipping" emphasizes the playfulness. Congrats on the 3rd place finish!

Thanks so much, Dolly. I like to listen to waterfalls... it is soothing.
By the way, what does that little insect looking thing mean?

What insect looking?

At the bottom of the review where the date is there is a symbol of something... it looks like an insect. It is very small.

Really, I have no ideal what that is!

Your poem speaks of the beauty of nature! Seeing the picture makes me think of music playing as the water trickles down the falls. Good job! God bless!

Hello mystery writer. Your 5-7-5 haiku poem certainly conforms to the style. Comparing water cascading down coated rocks is an interesting comparison to the summer waltz. Good luck in the contest. Robert

This is a beautiful haiku about nature. Your words coupled with the picture, not only capture your vision of water's playfulness, it broadcasts it in sound and vision dramatically. Well done.

"A summer waltz" - witnessed by a beautiful waterfall. I really liked the portrait you created with "Playful waterfalls skip with lichen." The picture you chose goes very well with your haiku. Good luck with the contest.

Well written in the Haiku format. Picture and verse are a great combination, each reinforcing the other.
Like the match of playful and waltz; lichen covered is very expressive.
Good luck in the competition for votes!

I think this is well described in just three lines. I felt as if I were at the scene with "lichen covered steps." "Playful waterfalls skip" is another excellent choice. Best of luck in the contest. Marilyn
